The Deputy CM also reiterated the government’s commitment to completing the Uma Maheshwara and Chinna Keshava lift irrigation projects.
Stating that the state government will enhance the crop input subsidy, he said it is a tight slap in the faces of opposition leaders who are spreading misinformation that the Congress would not implement the Rythu Bharosa scheme.
Stating that the government will provide Rs 12,000 assistance to landless agricultural labourers, he said that the implementation of these schemes will start on Republic Day.
He also said that the state government was paying around Rs 12,000 crore annually to the electricity department for providing free electricity to farmers.
“The government is providing transformers, based on requirements, without any scope for middlemen or lobbying,” he added.
